Jenna was so infuriated by An Bao and Xiao Fengfeng that her anger surged beyond control. Without a second thought, she clacked forward in her high heels and yanked An Bao clean off the boss's chair.
With a *thud*, An Bao was thrown to the ground before she could react, her little face filled with bewilderment.
"An Bao!!" Xiao Fengfeng spotted An Bao tumbling to the ground and circled anxiously overhead.
"Xiao Fengfeng, An Bao is okay, it's just that my little hands hurt a bit. Oh no, An Bao is bleeding."
An Bao held out her small, soft, pudgy little hand, palm upturned — the skin had been broken, and a thin trickle of blood seeped from the cut.
An Bao puckered her little mouth and blew on the wound twice — "hoo, hoo" — cheeks puffed out round and full. Between each little puff she cooed in her baby voice, "S'okay, s'okay~ An Bao blows it, pain-pain fly away, fly~"
Xiao Fengfeng watched An Bao behaving so sensibly, her heart aching and her fury boiling over at once. She flew straight at Janna and raked her claws across the woman's face!
"Ahh!!!"
Zhanna winced and quickly covered her face, then caught a glimpse of herself in the glass of the nearby bookcase—several bloody scratches had appeared on her cheek. Rage surged up inside her, impossible to hold back!!
"Fine, just fine! A bastard and a beast! How utterly ill-mannered! Just watch how I teach you a lesson on your mother's behalf! Once I'm done with you, I'll pluck every feather off this wretched bird and roast it!"
Zhanna's eyes burned with cold ferocity as she raised her high-heeled foot and brought it crashing down toward An Bao!
At this moment, Jenna's eyes were filled with venomous hatred, her mind screaming ceaselessly: Crush this little bastard to death!
But just as Janna's leg began to step down, it was suddenly stopped by something, leaving her foot suspended in midair!
The little dumpling wore a stern expression on her chubby face, cheeks puffed up with indignation, looking for all the world like a tiny puffer fish.
"Meanie Auntie! An Bao is really angry now!"
"Hmph, angry? What are you going to do about it?" Zhanna let out a cold sneer and pressed down harder with her foot.
She simply refused to believe that a mere child could be a match for her strength!
But…
Zhanna found that no matter how hard she tried, her legs simply could not press down another inch. Her expression darkened at once.
Not only that…
Janna suddenly felt her ankle seized by a tiny hand, and then a squeaky little voice cried out, "Hyah!"
"AAAHHHH!"
In the next instant, Janna could only feel her entire body suddenly lift off the ground!
Immediately, his entire body began to spin at high speed, like the blades of a fan.
"Ahhhhh!"
Janna cried out in alarm, her whole being overcome with dizziness.
She wanted to struggle, but found that in An Bao's hands she was like a grasshopper—no matter how she thrashed and flailed, she simply could not break free!
"Bang!"
*Clang!*
Zhanna was hurled bodily out through the glass window of Mu Yunyi's office by An Bao!
"Ah?"
"What's going on?"
"Good heavens! Isn't that Jenna?"
"What happened?"
Zhanna's whole body crashed into the public office area outside, glass shards strewn across the floor!
The employees were so startled by the scene that they leapt from their chairs and stumbled back several paces, somehow clearing a wide semicircular space with Jenna at its center.
Janna lay face-down on the ground, her chest and nose throbbing with unbearable pain. Her fingers twitched faintly, and in a feeble voice she managed: "Call… call 120…"
"Huh? Janna's nose seems... crooked?"
"Not just — not just that — she — her chest — her chest, it looks like — it exploded!"
"Holy shit? Hasn't Jenna always claimed to be a completely natural beauty? Turns out it's all surgically enhanced, are you kidding me!"
Janna lay face-down on the ground. Hearing the voices of the employees around her, she felt nothing but the hot, stinging burn blazing across her face.
At this moment, the physical pain was utterly incapable of offsetting this humiliation — the kind that felt as though she had been stripped bare entirely!
"What happened?"
Just at that moment, Mu Yunyi returned with Yang Li. Taking in the scene before him, he furrowed his brows slightly and asked in a low, measured tone.
Yang Li glanced at Mu Yunyi's office, then looked down at Zhanna on the floor, and felt nothing but a headache.
What on earth is this about now?
"Jenna, what's gotten into you?"
Yang Li watched as no one nearby stepped forward to help Janna up, and finding truly no other way, he had no choice but to go forward himself and help her to her feet.
Janna looked as wretched as one could possibly imagine, yet the moment she caught sight of Mu Yunyi's arrival, every turbulent emotion collapsed into sheer aggrievement. Tears streaming down her face, she rushed forward and reached out to take his hand.
But Mu Yunyi turned sideways, pulling away from Zhanna's outstretched hand, his brow furrowing.
Jana saw Mu Yunyi pull away from her hand. Though she felt a touch of embarrassment, she knew that was simply his nature, so she let it pass. She only went on sobbing, "Wuu, wuu, wuu… Senior, I was just—just bringing you this quarter's report. I really don't know why the little miss got so angry and chased me out like that… wuu… I'm fine, look, she's just a child. I—I won't hold it against her. Senior, please don't… don't blame her either…"
Janna wept as she recounted the whole affair, all the while putting on the look of someone who had swallowed every grievance without a word of complaint.
The employees standing nearby heard Jenna's words, and one by one, their expressions shifted.
What's going on?
Did Janna just say she was… beaten by a chubby little baby?
Little milk bun?
It's just that one…
Everyone turned their heads in unison, their gazes falling on the little milk bun standing before the shattered glass window.
At that moment, the little dumpling was clutching the colorful parrot, her big eyes brimming with tears. With so many gazes fixed upon her, she grew frightened and took two steps back.
The tiny figure stood there, looking so fragile it made one's heart ache.
"Has this Janna lost her mind? She claims that little bun hit her?"
"If you ask me, *she's* the one who's lost her mind! A child not even four or five years old—and she could knock it out of her? What a joke!"
"Yeah… surely you wouldn't be falsely accusing little Milk Ball just to get the BOSS's attention, would you?"
"That was truly a bit shameless of him……"
Obviously, no one believed a word of Jenna's explanation. Even just looking at the little one's pitiful, frightened expression left them all aching with sympathy.
After Mu Yunyi finished listening to Zhanna's words, his gaze also fell upon An Bao.
An Bao caught Mu Yunyi's gaze and shrank his neck in fright, pouting his little mouth with a touch of grievance.
Great Uncle had only just warmed up to An Bao after so much effort — was he going to dislike her all over again now?
An Bao felt a little uneasy in her heart. Unable to help herself, she shuffled over to Mu Yunyi's side in tiny, hesitant steps, then stretched out her small hand and tugged at the hem of his clothes. In a soft, babyish voice she murmured: "Big Uncle, I'm sorry. An Bao, An Bao was wrong. Big Uncle, please don't not want An Bao anymore, okay?"
"Right, senior, don't blame the child — it's probably because her mother never taught her properly that she'd go and hit someone like that. From now on I'll help you discipline her together, I…"
Janna glanced at An Bao, her eyes brimming with cold disdain, and chimed in accordingly.
But before Janna could finish, Mu Yunyi's cold voice cut her off: "Shut up."
Upon hearing this, An Bao quickly clamped her little mouth shut, cheeks puffed out, not daring to make a sound, her round grape-like eyes darting toward Mu Yunyi.
Seeing this, Janna felt immensely gratified and was about to say something more: "Senior…"
"I told you to shut up! Director Zhan."
Mu Yunyi's words left Janna utterly stunned.
Wait—what's going on?
Make her shut up?
